Honiton Carers had an afternoon of making their own name badges on Wednesday, October 11.

Gary from Open Arms volunteered to bring his very efficient badge-making machine to the group to complete the badges once designed.

Organiser Winnie Cameron said: "What a fabulous result. They were really good, very professional looking and great fun to make. We would like to thank Gary for his time and donated materials.

"Thank you Ruth for attending today it was lovely meeting you and we wish you luck and enjoyment in your new challenge as a members pioneer."

The New Co-op Pioneer for Honiton & Sidmouth Ruth French also attended and enjoyed making some badges herself. She mixed with the carers and told Gary and organiser Winne a bit more about what she is able to offer to support voluntary groups in the community.

Honiton Carers have been lucky enough to be one of the Co-op’s chosen charities for year 2022/23 which ends on 21st October. They say they look forward to the cheque presentation in November.

The next Carers meeting is on October 18 at The Kitchen at Combe Garden Centre. To find out more call 07974 636926 or email winniekjaer@btinternet.com
